Running over a stop sign proved to be a costly mistake for a LaFollette man last Monday.

LaFollette Police Officer Justin Lowe responded to the report of a hit and run accident at South 5th and Chestnut Street. According to Lowe’s report, the caller stated that a white car had run over a stop sign and left the scene, but then returned.

But Marsha L. Wilson allegedly proved to be the kind of return customer a local gas station didn’t want.

After managing to escape arrest for several months Wilson, 44, of 602A East 8th Street, was arrested on Jan. 10 for driving off without paying for gas at the Murphy Express gas station on seven different occasions.
